Dear Rachelle and Jimmy,
I was so surprised to see your Dad at Hospice where I work. I haven't seen him in years. I sat down and asked him if he remembered me, He held my hand tight and looked right at me, then squeezed my hand. I think he remembered me. He was such a sweet man with the kindest smile.

Your Cousin, Melinda L. Sager

Jimmy and Patti I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when I lived there Mr.Ortiz always coming over to the house and lending a helping hand. I will never forget the 50th birthday party too. He is in a much better place now.

Love you guys
Danny
